Biological background
Scientific background (datasheet): TJP3 (TIGHT JUNCTION PROTEIN 3), also called ZO3, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TJP3 gene. TJP3 is a member of the family of membrane-associated guanylate kinase-like proteins (MAGUK) that associate with intracellular junctions (Itoh et al., 1999). Haskins et al. (1998) showed that recombinant Tjp3 binds in vitro translated Tjp1 and binds ly to the cytoplasmic tail of occludin but no binding was detected between Tjp3 and Tjp2. Roh et al. (2002) determined that Tjp3 interacted with PATJ (INADL) and that both proteins colocalized to tight junctions in vivo. In vitro studies showed that the sixth and eighth PDZ domains of PATJ mediated interaction with the Tjp3 C-terminal domain and with Cldn1, respectively.
Cellular localization (datasheet): Cell membrane ; Peripheral membrane protein ; Cytoplasmic side . Cell junction, tight junction .
Sequence similarities (datasheet): Belongs to the MAGUK family.
Research relevance and current trends
- Commonly studied in contexts related to Cell Adhesion,Cytoskeleton/ECM,Signal Transduction,Tight Junctions.
- Supports comparative expression analysis across conditions, genotypes, or treatments when paired with appropriate controls.
- Useful for confirming target presence and subcellular distribution using orthogonal readouts (e.g., microscopy vs. immunoblotting).
Common research applications
- Western blot (WB): Compare relative target abundance and apparent size/isoforms across samples; interpret bands in light of expected MW and potential PTMs.
- ELISA: Measure target abundance in compatible matrices using a standard-curve readout; ensure dilution linearity and appropriate controls.
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Assess tissue distribution and cell-type patterns; interpret staining with appropriate negative controls and antigen context.
- Flow cytometry: Quantify target-positive populations in single-cell suspensions; pair with viability and isotype/FMO controls conceptually.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Consider isoforms, post-translational modifications, and processing that can shift apparent molecular weight or localization.
- Cross-reactivity (datasheet): No cross-reactivity with other proteins
- Use appropriate positive and negative controls (e.g., KO/KD, blocking peptide, or isotype controls) to support specificity interpretation.
As a polyclonal antibody, this reagent may recognize multiple epitopes on the target, which can improve detection robustness but may require careful specificity controls.
